My bestie texted me this morning to ask if we could have tea today. I said, “Yes, please!” our computer got a virus and now my daughter’s high school transcript has to be redone completely from scratch. Oy vey! Transcripts are the very least favorite part of homeschooling to me!

Bestie has been wanting to learn to like green and white teas, so I chose this for our first. Since I have reviewed it a couple of times recently, I won’t restate a whole lot of what I said before, but it was a little different today and that is what I wanted to focus on.

The recommended steeping time is two to three minutes, and I was cautious before and kept it on the low side. Since it is such a light tea, I decided to increase my steep time today.

Drinking the first steep, I found myself running my tongue over my teeth repeatedly. I realized that the tea had left a creamy, almost buttery feeling. Yum! From now on, I will steep this one for three minutes.

Yes, and the original was in an old Word format, nothing I did wood make it open, grades are lost and must be dug up in the attic in old lesson plan logs, and I am trying to learn how to set up tabs etc. in Apple’s Pages, a program I love but which has very little in the way of tutorials for making such a complex document! I finally found a template online I can use once I get all the information gathered together again, and I am under the gun because she has to have this transcript to go to school this fall! WWAAAAHHH! (First world problems, I know!)

You are so right! Fortunately, when hubby got home he found a copy of the document, slightly corrupted but readable, on his laptop, so he printed it and I can gather most of the info I need from that and just type it into the template tonight or tomorrow. Whew.

I just loved it, after sweating and straining to get post-disaster taxes done a bunch earlier in usual, and after several tries getting it all punched in, the FAFSA auto-respond congratulated my son for completing all the required information when I did all the confounded work!

Bio

I am a music teacher and homeschooling mom who started drinking loose leaf tea about five years ago! My daughters and I have tea every day, and we are frequently joined by my students or friends for “tea time.” Now my hubby joins us, too. His tastes have evolved from Tetley with milk and sugar to mostly unadorned greens and oolongs.

We have learned so much history, geography, and culture in this journey.
